Fast love

Well, on average, about eight minutes, according to a large-scale population survey involving 491 men from five countries.

But the variation is anything between a few seconds and 45 minutes.

For anyone fond of statistics, the standard deviation (from the mean of eight minutes) is slightly greater than a whopping seven minutes.

How fast is too fast, then? It depends on your intention. If it’s to make a baby, anything above zero seconds of penetration stands a decent chance of doing the trick, given everything else is working out as it should.

If it’s to bring pleasure to your partner, how many minutes does he or she need? If it’s to feel better about yourself, well, anything above a minute and you’re safe within one standard deviation from the average Joe.

In reality, you’ll probably gain little from knowing this, or from the pointless exercise that is quantifying your performance by calculating minutes and seconds.

If you experience a problem, there probably isn’t anything medically wrong with you. Talk to your partner. And if it still doesn’t work out, there’s always the option to try the medication.
